Would You Kill for Me? (Yandere Genshin Impact x Fem!Reader)

Chapter 20- Fundraiser part 3: Special Surprise on the Day

Y/n and Hu Tao stood in the open- after being granted permission from shop owners to stand out the front, selling cheap flowers.
They had friends who could cook and made some food as well.
It was going alright so far.

"Which one would you like?" Hu Tao gestured at her bundles.

They were made of roses which were being home-grown, other domesticated flowers and some wild ones from the field that Ganyu and Xiao searched for. Y/n was pretty sure they were glaze lillies, Qingxin, and silk flowers- what Ganyu said.
People liked the way they were arranged- again, Ganyu, but with the help of Lisa and Jean. The colours were 'stunning combinations' some old lady said as she praised Hu Tao.
They did them up as small bouquets, tied together with different ribbons. And, surprisingly they actually made money.

Some people made stuff too. Y/n didn't see much, as Hu Tao dragged her out to help. Apparently, people were curious about them too. Jean was standing there with some with little slices of pizza, which the public found fantastic. Jean said it was her own recipe, 'Invigorating pizza.'
And the day before, Hu Tao introduced Y/n to Xiangling, and award-winning teenage chef. Her food was strange- yet delicious.
But, Xiangling even kindly brought food to help Hu Tao. The chef's food was even more popular.
And while she was at it, she advertised her father's restaurant.

The man glanced at the bouquets and picked one out of the box. It was one that was tied by Lisa- contained lots of roses and glaze lillies. It was mostly pink and white roses, glaze lillies and some mysterious strangely-shaped flowers. (No one knew what they were.)

Then Lumine approached them, "oh, you're selling flowers?"

"Yeah, we're trying to earn money for my company."

Lumine tapped her chin in thought, before smiling slyly, "I'll buy one." She handed Hu Tao the money and looked at the bundles.

"Y/n which is the prettiest, in your opinion?"

"But- they're all pretty." Y/n tilted her head.

Lumine scooped a random bouquet up and skipped away, "bye-bye."

Hu Tao smiled, "that was nice of her. I bet she didn't even want one."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once they finished, Hu Tao counted the money and grinned, "I owe these people. Definitely."

Then she turned to Y/n, "do you want the rest? I don't need them." She pointed at the lonely four bouquets.

Y/n went to visit Ganyu, who was sitting in the meadow with Zhongli and Xiao. The trio looked towards her as she stuck her hand out, holding on to one of the flower bundles.

Xiao blinked, "was it successful?"

"Yeah... well, Hu Tao thinks so. She looked very pleased."

Ganyu piped up, "tell her, she's welcome."

"Will do."

Ganyu accepted one of the bouquets and smiled at Y/n, "thank you."

Y/n took the opportunity to kneel down and start braiding some of the exotic flowers into Ganyu's pretty blue locks.

Meanwhile, Aether wandered up to Hu Tao who was sitting in Xiangling's restaurant. He was pretty happy, it was convenient since Hu Tao probably knew where Y/n could be.
The girl was slumped over in a chair, her red trench coat draped over the back and she was grinning like a shark, holding dollar bills.

"Oh, Hu Tao! Do you know where Y/n went?" Aether wandered up to her.

"She went somewhere with the leftover flowers... probably giving them to the people that helped. But I assume- knowing her, she'd visit Ganyu first. Ganyu sits in the meadow. But don't be disappointed when they're not there..."

"Ah. Thank you!" He scurried off.

Hu Tao chuckled... that was the cherry-on-top.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aether was walking by the little glen of trees that hid the meadow when Y/n stepped out.
He felt his face flame and went to her.
She looked surprised to see him, clutching the bouquet of flowers that Lumine had bought.

"Y-y/n. Hey."

"Do you want something?" Her eyes glanced down to the flowers.

"Do you want to go out with me?!" He held out the flowers.

"Haha..." y/n smiled, "you keep them... But sure, I'll go with you. Just contact me the details."
She looked down bashfully, "I need to give out some more of these bouquets to helpers."

"Wait... you will...? You'll go out with me?"

"Yes..."
Y/n smiled, "now I'll be going. I want to get these to Xiangling and Jean."

Aether watched Y/n leave, grinning madly- a furious blush on his face. He held the flowers closer and walked swiftly back home.

Ganyu stood behind a tree, grinding her teeth.

She turned to Xiao who was silent, "Y/n has a date!"

"I know. Weren't you listening?" He looked at her.

She gnawed her lip. "I need to do something about this. Aether isn't the one."

...And the unspoken words between them, 'I am.'
